The scoring in the new game is currently all kinds of broken, with curious bugs like Triple-Word-Scores not being counted, to "Longest Word Played : F 32 points" showing up, which makes no sense whatsoever.
I'm currently over-analysing the quirks to see if I can figure out why they're happening, and will hopefully get the game uploaded later today.
It's a fun word game, and is "different" enough to make for a decent slot in the Shoebox, which is great, because that really needed a new game!
Having said that, Browsercade's been pretty much abandoned, hasn't it.
"Maybe you should integrate the JSE games.." cries an unknown voice in my head for the umpteenth time.
Yeah, yeah..
I'm sure a cross-engine play mode, and integrating over 80 games will be super easy, and not alarmingly frustrating in the slightest.
[The room is pitch black. Green stumbles in, bumping into furniture]
Green: Dave! What have you done now?
Dave: [from somewhere in the dark] I haven't done anything! Why do you always assume it's my fault?
Green: Because it usually is. Remember the laser light show at the hospital?
Dave: That wasn't me! That was a computer malfunction!
Green: Right, and I'm sure your tinkering had nothing to do with it.
[A loud whirring sound comes from the corner of the room]
Green: And I presume that noise isn't anything to do with you, right?
Dave: Oh, that's just my new and improved Dust Buster Bonanza 2000!
Green: You mean MY vacuum cleaner, that you destroyed yesterday?
Dave: I prefer the term "upgraded".
[Scene Two]
Int. Dave's apartment - Later
[Green is fumbling around with a torch]
Green: This is ridiculous. It's like that time your fan sent my building plans flying out the window.
Dave: It isn't anything like that. The building being dark is nothing like a fan blowing paper.
Green: I'm going to check the fuse box. Try not to blow anything up while I'm gone.
Dave: I'll have you know I'm an expert with electronics now. Remember how I fixed your TV?
Green: [Sarcastically] I'm glad that it now changes channel so I never miss a cola advert.
[The whirring sound gets louder]
Dave: Uh oh.
Green: What do you mean, 'uh oh'?
[Scene Three]
Int. Dave's apartment - Even Later
[Green returns, looking exasperated]
Green: The fuse box is fine. I don't understand what's causing this blackout.
Dave: [nervously] Well, funny story...
[Suddenly, the lights flicker on, revealing the Dust Buster Bonanza 2000 in the middle of the room, surrounded by shattered light bulbs]
Green: Dave, what in the world?
Dave: I may have programmed it to clean a bit too thoroughly. It seems to think light bulbs are dirt.
Green: How did it even get up there?
Dave: Hey, at least it's not shooting lasers across the room.
[The vacuum shoots a giant laser towards Dave's floor lamp]
Green: Dave, turn it off!
Dave: I can't! It's become self-aware!
Green: It still has a power switch.
Dave: It also has a giant laser!
Green: So does your CD drive. Improvise. I'll see you tomorrow.
[As Green leaves, Dave dodges laser beams whilst the screen fades out]
